Which knowing a class full of hormonal 15/16 year old boys was probably very often :hilarious:
Well, yeah because at that age you can't really help yourself despite your better judgement.

Yup...correct on all 3 counts. Seriously, how much of a babe was Miss Allen??
The following year we had this scary butch french teacher with huge mams who kept leaning over her desk in the vain hope we were catching a quick look at her bristols.
Loved - History. Always had good teachers and even at degree level (where I studied Politics) enjoyed the more history-oriented modules I did.
Hated - Art. The teacher was a mad Irish bint who hated my guts. And I was crap at it.
you went to Thorpe Bay too then :hilarious:
Was all the medicine ****e really necessary though?!!
What happened during 1815-1851 then?! We never got taught that...
So asking you to decorate my house is out of the question James?:D
Re. Mr Swan I once saw him puke into a bush while waiting for a bus from Southend High St. I think we can assume that he wasn't a very happy man and teaching a load of too-clever kids didn't do him a lot of favours.
There were loads of rumours flying around about him having alcohol problems and stuff.
Given that we also had a science teacher who looked like he came straight out of the 'Village People', a racist history teacher who got fired for punching an asian kid at the staff v 6th form football match, a dyslexic georgraphy teacher and the aforementioned Mr. Crapper who used to burst into tears pretty much every time we had a lesson with him it's a wonder we got any qualifications at all.
Favourite : Physical Geography (plate tectonics, geological science)
he also came out with legendry line 'this is not a bear garden' when we were talking, wtf?
Yes. We had Physical Geography (as above) and Topical Geography (Nigeria, crop rotation studies, demographic analysis, etc.)Did they teach that separate to Human Geography at your school then, Mike?
if only i knew if only...Exactly! What is a 'bear garden'?! Is it next to the chimp's tea party?
